Pakistan would probably get better results in Europe where there is less concern about using terrorism to achieve geopolitical objectives, at least if they can come up with a sympathetic story about why Indians deserve it. Lamentably they don't have much financial heft to sweeten the deal for nations that side with them.

Ministers in Pakistan are nothing more than jesters while all the power rests with the military.

Besides, Pakistan has just copied what India has done. When India did a press conference, so did the Pakistanis and boy was there a massive difference on how both nations conducted them. One with sound logic and proof and the other with absolutely nothing substantial.

Again, with the delegation, Pakistan sent one just because India sent one. That shows you that there is no clear thinking within the Pakistani govt setup, they have no clear approach to foreign policy.

And again, most of these conferences, they have tried to tarnish the image of Modi rather than address any real issues because they don’t have any standing when it comes to this. It just shows that they have no intention of reform or countering terrorism, just sort of think they can counter anything with just shifting blame and avoiding the real discussion at hand.

In the hallowed chambers of Capitol Hill, where diplomacy often masquerades as decorum, Congressman Brad Sherman delivered a blunt rebuke to Pakistan's delegation, led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. The message was unambiguous: eradicate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and safeguard religious minorities within Pakistan's borders.

Sherman's admonition was not merely a diplomatic nicety but a pointed demand for accountability. He emphasized that Pakistan must "do all it can" to dismantle the terrorist group, which has been implicated in numerous attacks across the region. This call to action underscores the United States' growing impatience with what it perceives as Pakistan's insufficient efforts in combating terrorism.

The timing of this rebuke is particularly significant. It coincides with the presence of both Pakistani and Indian parliamentary delegations in Washington, D.C., intensifying the diplomatic spotlight on South Asian security issues. The juxtaposition of these visits highlights the delicate balance of regional politics and the international community's vested interest in fostering stability.

In response, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has reiterated Pakistan's commitment to combating terrorism, urging national unity to confront the threat. However, the effectiveness of these assurances remains under scrutiny, as international stakeholders demand tangible actions over rhetorical commitments.

This exchange exemplifies the complex interplay of diplomacy, security, and international expectations, where words are wielded as instruments of influence and pressure. The coming days may reveal whether Pakistan's actions align with its stated intentions or if this episode will become another chapter in the ongoing saga of geopolitical posturing.
